Default 14 Flea Build

I am kicking the idea around of building a new 14 cal. A 14 Flea to be exact. I was wondering if anyone can give me any info. on this caliber. I have the barrel and Midway has the brass. The dies and reamer can be had as well. Just looking for some insight on this case as to know in my mind if it's well worth the effort. I have a couple other 14s and just love the caliber and the way it shoots. That's not to say it's an easy venture. They are fussy to say the least but with time and patients they will shoot and are a ton of fun. Any input is more than welcome.
Thanks,
Ralph

Aaron, I believe it's the 32ACP. And I believe the 14 Piss Ant uses the 25ACP parent case.

Question Photos

No photos as of yet worth posting. I just bought the barrel blank and have been talking with Ron Reed about the reamer and dies. Right now just trying to find someone who has made the brass for it to see if it's much of a headache. Really debating whether or not to proceed or take the extra money and buy a 12 cal. barrel for a 12 Squirrel project. I have all the forming dies for this caliber with the exception of the FL sizing die which would be the only die I would need to buy other than a Vickerman seating die. Money wise both would involve about the same amt. of money. I just need to make my mind up. That seems to be my biggest problem. There just doesn't seem to be a lot of people out there to talk to as far as experience with these small calibers and can only find very few articles written on the subject.

Default 14 on 25 and 32 cases

Have built several 14's over the years. 14/25 acp is not too bad. Did 14 on 32 S&W long instead of 32 acp, to me easier to form brass and have form dies from 32 to 10 for 32 S&W long case. 32 S&W long and squirrel cases are same ballistics, 32 brass gives me better case life. For 10 to 15 grain bullets the 25 acp case does everything I want.
